Cruise on the Vistula River and Wieliczka Salt Mine Group Tour

This tour combines a scenic river cruise and a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wieliczka Salt Mine on the same day. Instead of walking around the city, rest tired feet by going sightseeing from the water. During the cruise, ride past Wawel Royal Castle, the Church on the Rock, and Kazimierz. Then later, enjoy a salt mine tour to see an underground church, lakes, and salt statues.

What To Expect

Vistula River

Sailing on a catamaran on the Vistula River on a small two-way cruise, you will get to know Krakow's monuments, visible from the side of the river.
Admire all the most important places in Krakow from the Vistula River. See Krakow from a new perspective as you follow the flow of the queen of Polish rivers.

Kosciuszko's Mound (Kopiec Kosciuszki) (Pass By)

The Kościuszko Mound in Krakow is one of the five mounds located in Krakow. It was erected in honor of Tadeusz Kościuszko — a great patriot and leader of the national uprising.

Monastery of the Norbertan Sisters (Pass By)

Fortified like a castle, this mighty monastery, founded in the 12th century, was destroyed and rebuilt several times. The most important Krakow traditions are also associated with it: here, on Monday after Easter, the annual Emmaus festival is celebrated. Hence, the Lajkonik procession — the most important symbol of Krakow — sets off every June.

Wawel Royal Castle (Pass By)

The limestone hill rising above the Vistula River is the former center of power, the legendary (associated with the mythical founder of Krakow and his descendants) and historical: princely, episcopal and royal. Wawel is a complex of castle and sacred buildings — a symbol of the city, but most of all a museum presenting the most valuable monuments of Polish material culture. Take a good look and you will also notice the silhouette of the famous Wawel dragon breathing fire towards onlookers.

Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology (Pass By)

The original, modern form of the building housing the museum of art and technology is perfectly seen from the river level. The wavy line of its roof is to refer directly to the waves of the Vistula River.

Church on the Rock (Kosciol na Skalce) (Pass By)

The baroque church of Saint Michael the Archangel and Saint Stanislaus on Skałka rises above the boulevards, right on the Vistula River, on a small hill made of white Jurassic limestones. The basilica is also a national pantheon (many distinguished painters, musicians and poets are buried here) and a library with priceless documents, books and incunabula.

Kazmierz The Former Jewish District (Pass By)

Once independent, the city situated south of Wawel was the hub of Jewish life in Kraków for centuries, and today it is one of the greatest tourist attractions of the city.

Wieliczka Salt Mine

It is definitely worth a visit! Ballroom, concert hall, art gallery, shrine — all made of salt and located underground. The tourist route through the Wieliczka Mine passes by chambers and drifts, salt and wooden chapels, brine lakes, and around you there are breathtaking views. The walk resembles an expedition not only deep into the Earth, but also into the depths of history. Mining machines, tools, traces of manual salt extraction — all this fits into the story of people and the place that they have created over the centuries. The sacred places of the mine, including the delightful chapel of St. Kinga, create a unique, unique in Europe, and perhaps in the world, underground pilgrimage route.
